ROCK REDEMPTION (Rock Revenge Trilogy #3) by Cari Quinn & Taryn Elliott-a review

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 30, 2018

I lost everything.

Stripped of all I’d found, now even my name is a scar.

A reminder of how far I’ve fallen and what was ripped away.

By my own devices, if not my own hand.

My music is all I have left, and the memories of the only woman I ever truly loved.

Zoe, who owns my heart.

I’ll do anything to earn her forgiveness. Even lay myself bare.

And I want my brother back.

Finally, I have a family, if they’ll have me. A real life beyond the trappings of fame.

I’ll do whatever it takes. Even start all over again.

But not all the demons of the past have been laid to rest. Now my final reckoning is at hand.

And those I love most may get caught in the crossfire.

Author’s Note: Find redemption with Ian Kagan, our new rockstar anti-hero in the conclusion of our super hot, romantic suspense trilogy, Rock Revenge. The trilogy occurs in the Oblivion world though it can be read on its own. Rock Redemption is a full-length novel with a HEA.

•••••••••••

REVIEW: ROCK REDEMPTION is the third and final instalment in Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott’s contemporary, adult, erotic romance ROCK REVENGE Trilogy focusing on up and coming rock star Ian Kagan, and artist / photographer Zoe Manning. ROCK REDEMPTION should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book two Rock Reclaimed. ROCK REDEMPTION and the Rock Revenge Trilogy are a spin-off from the authors’ LOST IN OBLIVION series, and as such several characters cross-over for cohesion and back story.

NOTE: If you have not read the previous instalments, there may be some spoilers in my review.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Zoe and Ian) and third person perspective (Margo) ROCK REDEMPTION follows in the wake of potential disaster as Margo Kagan, Simon’s wife goes missing, and the events that follow pit brother against brother as Ian must reveal the truth about his past, and the on-going battle between head and heart. As life begins to spiral out of control, Ian finds himself walking away from everything in order to protect the woman he loves, and the family he has never known. As Zoe, Simon and Margo struggle with the truth, Ian must make amends but not before forgiving himself.

Ian Kagan has always been the ‘spare to the heir’; never good enough, and definitely not his rock star brother Simon. Having learned at an early age that he would never amount to the stardom of the brother he never knew, Simon quickly fell onto hard time, and the resulting aftermath has found our hero struggling with what happened and why.

Zoe Manning is Lila Shawcross’ cousin. Lila is an executive at Ripper Records, and in this Lila struggles with Zoe’s attraction to a man who could very well destroy Simon and the band. As Zoe embarks on a journey of reflection, she must come to a decision about her future with or without the man that she loves.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful secondary and supporting characters: Simon and Margo; Nick and Lila: Donovan Lewis, several members of the band Oblivion (Deacon, Gray and Jazz), and the Ian Kagan Band (Grant, Lark and Perry); music producer Rory Ferguson, country rock-star Flynn Sheppard, Ian’s manager Sabrina, and as well as the introduction of Zoe’s brothers (Beck, Justin and Hayes), parents Sarah and Christopher Manning, and Lila’s mother and Zoe’s aunt Laverne. The requisite evil has many faces. I am hoping for a story between Sabrina and Flynn.

ROCK REDEMPTION is a story of family and friendship, struggle and acceptance, lies and betrayal, falling in love and letting go of the past. The premise is startling, wondrous, emotional and revealing; the romance struggles in the face of secrets and lies; the characters are broken, colorful, sassy and wounded. ROCK REDEMPTION is an amazing conclusion to the Rock Revenge Trilogy.

Rocked
Book 1 Lost in Oblivion
by Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott
Release Date: September 2013

RockedOnstage he’s Demon, the unsurpassable bassist.

Offstage he’s the Peacemaker, the mastermind who keeps his volatile band from imploding.

Opening for their idols on their first ever tour, Oblivion is living the dream. That dream becomes a nightmare when Oblivion draws more attention than the headliner and egos clash. Frustrated at being shoved out of his mediator role by their new manager, Deacon McCoy loses himself in brutal workouts only coming up for air long enough to refuel—and that means hunting down the catering truck at odd hours.

Especially the deliciously cute chef who excites his taste buds as much as his body.

The child of roadie parents, Harper Pruitt has heard every pickup line twice. To her, musicians are one step above the scraps on her cutting board. All she wants is to get enough experience to run her own catering company, but Deacon and his bottomless and surprisingly gourmet stomach is too tempting to resist. Before long, she finds herself wanting to experiment with him outside the kitchen.

When Harper sees that Deacon’s sense of responsibility is doing him serious damage, she realizes he’s far from the typical rock star. But as the band’s fame grows, she wonders if she can love a man who doesn’t know how to let anyone in—even her.

Lost in Oblivion #2
by Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott
Release Date: December 2013

Sexy coupleHe’s always saved her. Now she’s going to return the favor…

Gray Duffy never thought he’d end up as the co-lead guitarist of Oblivion, one of the hottest rock bands in the country. Even better? He’s sharing the experience with his best friend, Jazz. Since the day she’d showed up as his family’s new foster kid, Gray has protected her. Loved her. And not just platonically either. After all these years of wanting her in his bed, he still doesn’t know what it would be like to have her mouth on his.

Except for that one time. The time he’d shared her with Nick. The best worst night of his life.

Now they’re living their dream. They’re making music together and spending every waking moment trapped in tight quarters. With success at their fingertips, the time is right for him to finally make his move toward the woman he needs.

He just never figured he would lose control. Or that she would find out.

They’ve loved each other through everything. But what if this time love just isn’t enough?

I’m from the great state of New York–upstate NY, thank you very much. My family consists of a brother who takes care of keeping the snarky side of me alive and a dog that is more spoiled child than mutt. My writer-friends are the glue that keeps my crazy ideas more in the sane category, and my non-writerly friends are the reason I’m not a complete hermit. I can’t go a day without laughing and I truly do fall in love with each and every one of my leading men as I write their book. Music is life and every story has its own soundtrack.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Released July 5, 2013

Twenty-three year old Nick Crandall has one focus in his life: Oblivion, the band he formed with his best friend Simon Kagan. With gigs coming up and the band members lacking focus after losing their drummer to rehab, they’re out of ideas. Until Oblivion’s bassist, Deacon McCoy, poses a surprising suggestion.

Or will the band Nick and Simon have fought to keep together disintegrate before their eyes?

Four guys & one woman + more success than they ever bargained for = trouble, of the sexiest kind.

•••••••••••••••••••••••

REVIEW: SEDUCED is the first storyline in the contemporary New Adult series Lost in Oblivion co-authored by Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott. As an introductory storyline SEDUCED reveals the history and background and the bands stormy rise to success. We are privileged to watch as Oblivion goes from a house band playing local gigs for beer to a platinum-selling rock group with demons and secrets not quite buried in the past.

The characters are flawed and rough. There is no holding back in this particular storyline: booze, woman, sex, fights, jealousy and graphic language. The band’s rise to fame from virtual obscurity is fraught with bitter regret and rivalry, one-night stands, broken promises and broken hearts.

Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott bring the reader up close and personal into the life style that is the legend of rock and roll. We watch as two best friends come to blows over the direction of the band as well as the choices each has made. And in doing so they will come to the realization that there must be more to life than sex, drugs and booze. But for one or two, it will take a little longer to see their way through the fogged haze of a lifetime spent on the edge of oblivion.

LOST IN OBLIVION is an introductory novel that is gritty, graphic and reflects the ugly side of a life style in which many try but fail to succeed. The characters are flawed; some of their choices have failed or proved wrong; but like many in the music industry, they keep plugging away until the final note is played.

The storyline is well written and fast paced. There is always something happening or someone reflecting on the what ifs and whys. To say the characters are likeable would be stretching the truth due to the nature of the storyline, but each member of the band has a story to tell; a past they regret; and a history of demons that need to be excised or controlled.

Sinners On tour

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk/ Barnes and Noble

ABOUT THE BOOK:  Release Date August 6, 2013

From the moment he lays eyes on Sinners’ new front of house soundboard operator, drummer Eric Sticks knows he has to make Rebekah his. Unfortunately, she’s too busy trying to seduce guitarist Trey Mills to pay him much attention. Rebekah never planned to fall for the tall, goofy drummer with the weird sense of humor and a heart the size of the galaxy. But Eric makes her laugh and his constant attention makes her feel sexy and irresistible–exactly what she needs after the things her last lover said to her. A woman who gives as much as she takes, Rebekah makes Eric feel like a total stud–exactly what he needs after surviving a decade of watching the incredibly talented members of Sinners from the wings.

REVIEW

5 out of 5 for this reader folks!

Man, when did Eric get so sexy??? LOL

For those of you have not ventured into this series, put down whatever you are reading and check it out. Especially if you love HOT ROCKERS who can rock it out in ALL PLACES that doesn’t just include the stage! WINK!

Wicked Beat by Olivia Cunning is the fourth book in her Sinners Series (although the pub dates are messed up as Olivia had some conflict with her publishers). Eric Sticks is the funky hair, goofball, voyeur, tall and all around fun guy of the group. Throughout the series he was my least fave character but after reading this book … *fans myself with a hearty sigh* he has moved up that list!

Rebekah is a rebel in her own making. She has some mental and physical damage from an illness and tries to live her life to the fullest although she has some justified fears. She is also the sister of the sound board guy Dave and has offered to assume the position (in more ways than one .. teehee) for the band while her brother recovers from a serious injury (read the previous books for more details on that)! She is fresh out of school and knows that an opportunity like this only comes once in a lifetime so she feels she has much to prove. She also has been crushing on Trey Mills (another hunky member of the band) forever and sees this as a chance to live out another opportunity. What she doesn’t count on is falling for Eric.

Right from the beginning, these two have incredible chemistry. They have the same off beat humour and feed off each other. Eric is instantly in love with Rebekah (Eric is the naive, wholehearted, puppy love, awkward guy in the group that is seriously underestimated) and his band mates, especially Trey, try to tell him to slow down. All Eric knows is he has to follow his heart!

Rebekah, throughout the book begins to realize her dream guy isn’t Trey, but in fact the quirky guy that is just as into fixing classic cars, dying hair all kinds of crazy and kinky sex ….. Eric. We also know that every good book has to have an antagonist of sorts. Well this lies with Rebekah’s former ill intending fiancee and her bible thumping controlling mother.

Okay .. so this book is not for the faint hearted! While there is a great story here, there is also some VERY KINKY SEX. These two love to role play and they have sex often, in many ways, and have included a third party at times. The scenes are written HOT, descriptive and ABSOLUTELY LOVING!

For a guy that wasn’t even on my radar at the beginning of this series, he sure came to the forefront. Olivia Cunning sure did him justice and I am looking forward to reading more!

HAPPY READING! 🙂

Rock The BandROCK THE BAND (Black Falcon 1.5) by Michelle A. Valentine

=>Rock The Band ebook is .99cents or less at the time of posting<=

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk/ Barnes and Noble / KOBO

ABOUT THE BOOK: January 29, 2013

After Noel Falcon professed his love to the one girl who truly holds his heart in the palm of her hand, he decides to try his damndest to keep Lane Vance in his life forever this time. There’s no way he’ll let her slip through his fingers again without a fight.

The instant they are together Noel begins to plot a way to ask his headstrong lady-love to be his wife, but every attempt to pop the question is foiled by a string of mishaps that prevents him from the perfect moment to get the job done before he goes back on tour with Black Falcon.

Distance is a bigger challenge than Noel expects, and the one-eyed beast of jealous raises its ugly head when Lane takes on a job working on an ad campaign for Embrace the Darkness. With Striker—a man that’s made it clear in the past he’s very interested in more then her business sense—lurking around her constantly, Noel wants to claim Lane now, more than ever.

REVIEW: ROCK THE BAND is a short novella in Michelle A. Valentine’s new adult, contemporary Black Falcon series focusing on the lives and loves of the member of the rock band Black Falcon. Rock the Band is a short story told from Noel’s POV and takes place immediately after Rock the Heart (book 1).

In the first storyline our couple reconnected after several years apart when Lanie was assigned by her employer to follow and get the inside scoop on Noel Falcon and his connection to the children’s foundation for Dyslexia. As with any romance storyline, our couple traversed the minefield of misunderstandings, broken hearts and secrets, but in the end, welcomed a HEA.

Rock the Band furthers Lanie and Noel’s storyline as Noel prepares to take Lanie on the road with the Black Falcons. But an emergency will force Lanie back home and it is during her absence that Noel realizes that he wants Lanie in his life forever and his knows just how he is going to ask the woman that he loves to be his wife.

Rock the Band is a quick read; a short story that adds a new dimension to the couple and what lies in store for their future. There is none of the first storyline’s angst and hidden agendas; there are no secrets and no broken promises; only two people whose lives are about to change in more ways than one.

If you found yourself a fan of Rock the Heart, you will welcome this addition to the Black Falcon series. And as with any series, Lanie and Noel’s story will continue as the Black Falcons take their music and their stories-on the road.

Rock My BedROCK MY BED (Black Falcon #2) by Michelle A Valentine

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk/ Barnes and Noble / KOBO

ABOUT THE BOOK: April 22, 2013

Everything always seems to fall into place for twenty-four year-old Aubrey Jenson, except for when it comes to her luck with men. Bad boys always draw her in and crush her heart, and Black Falcon’s lead guitarist, Riff, is no exception. After sharing a few wild nights together, she leaves him behind knowing a guy like Riff isn’t the relationship type, merely just a play thing.

When she returns to New York, she tries to get the passion she felt in Riff’s arms out of her head by dating Isaac, a successful representative at Center Stage Marketing. Just when she thinks she’s forgotten Riff, she’s forced to see him again when her best friend, Lanie, ropes her into being a bridesmaid for her upcoming wedding to Black Falcon front man, Noel.

Sparks fly instantly between Aubrey and Riff when they’re forced to reunite, and suddenly she finds herself caught between the man that’s good for her and the one who completely rocks her in every way.

REVIEW: ROCK MY BED is the second novel but third storyline in Michelle A. Valentine’s New Adult, contemporary Black Falcon series focusing on the lives and loves of the members of the rock band Black Falcon. Rock My Bed is Aubrey and Riff’s storyline and it runs parallel to the events in Rock the Heart (Noel and Lanie’s story) and some of the premise overlaps. What the reader experiences is Riff’s take on the betrayal by Noel and finding Aubrey Jenson as the woman to ‘rock his world’. The storyline is told from two distinct POVs-Aubrey and Riff’s.

Aubrey is Lanie’s BFF and co-worker at Center Stage Marketing and she will soon discover that her position with CSM and friendship with Lanie are at odds due to a conflict of interest between work and friend. When Aubrey is sent to ‘spy’ on Lanie she will discover Riff (aka Zach), the lead guitarist for Black Falcon and the man who is about to change the rules. When opportunity presents itself for a quick fling and a one night stand, neither one thought they would lose their hearts and fall in love.

Michelle Valentine invites the reader into the back stage world of rock gods and groupies. Rock My Bed follows Aubrey and Riff as they enter into a long distance relationship-first through texting; phone calls; cross country flights and weekend get togethers until Riff wants to make sure Aubrey becomes a permanent part of his life.

We learn that life is not all fun and games on the road especially when many of the characters are hiding secret pasts, heartbreaking family history and a reluctance to get involved knowing that the life of a rock star is not conducive to a permanent relationship. And Aubrey has a decision to make when opportunity presents itself-a future with CSM or a future with Riff.

The relationship between Riff and Aubrey is hot, sexual and real. Aubrey is from a well to do, connected family and her experience in the bedroom is about to be explored. Riff is the ultimate bad boy; not only by reputation and history, but by appearance as well. He is tattooed, pierced and sports a two toned Mohawk and although he is the epitome of a rock and rock lifestyle, he is also a parent’s worse nightmare where their daughter may be concerned.

The storyline is fast paced. Riff and Aubrey are both likeable characters who could break your heart. The reader learns more about Riff as he opens up to the woman that he loves: and both of their issues with family, trust and betrayal.

If you like a storyline of rock gods and bad boy sexy musicians, the Black Falcon series by Michelle A Valentine is the perfect series. She brings just the right amount of sex, romance and heartbreak. And in the end, even the bad boy can be tamed by a wild cat.

Rock My WorldROCK MY WORLD (Black Falcon 2.5) by Michelle A Valentine

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk/ Barnes and Noble / KOBO

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 26, 2013

After Aubrey Jenson is wrongly dismissed from her job at Center Stage Marketing, she seeks legal advice from her father, The Judge, to see what grounds she has to get her position reinstated. Her surprise visit to her family doesn’t go as smoothly as she hopes when she brings home her new boyfriend, Zach, Black Falcon’s lead guitarist. She soon discovers that father doesn’t always know best when it comes to matters of the heart.

When Zach meets Aubrey’s family, he’s immediately faced with his deepest fear: The love he so desperately wants, he doesn’t deserve. The Judge makes no attempt to hide his disdain for Zach, and will stop at nothing to keep him away from his daughter. But an unexpected twist turns everyone’s plans upside down and no one’s world will ever be the same.

Outside forces attempting to pull them apart are strong and it’s going to take every bit of Zach and Aubrey’s love for one another to withstand the fall-out. Soon, they discover making love last is harder than finding it to begin with and sometimes you pay the ultimate price for true love.

REVIEW: ROCK MY WORLD is the fourth storyline (second novella) in Michelle A Valentine’s New Adult genre Black Falcon contemporary romance series focusing on the lives and loves of the members of the rock band Black Falcon. This particular novella continues Aubrey and Riff’s storyline and takes place immediately following Rock My Bed.

The relationship between Riff and Aubrey has already been established. They are a perfect pair; they are in love; the romance is sensual and hot but….there is always a but and in this particular case… it is family. Not only does Riff’s father continue to harass and threaten Riff but Aubrey’s family makes it known that they will not tolerate her relationship with Riff. And to complicate matters, Aubrey’s father is a judge and he is willing to open up old wounds and sealed files to insure Riff is no longer in Aubrey’s life.

The storyline is once again fast paced. There is pain of family betrayal; the threats against Riff and his bandmates and, a near fatal accident will put everything into perspective. Riff and Aubrey belong together. Their story is emotional as well as heartbreaking; and it also proves, that just because one is related by blood, doesn’t give them the right to control your life. Sometimes family is the one sitting beside you, singing a song and supporting you when life reaches its’ lowest point.
